Name— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be clear and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g. “easy for me” → “easy for me to remember people’s names”), avoid unnecessary background or vague phrasing, and keep to 2–3 sentences. Add one specific supporting detail if helpful (e.g. a concrete example).

例: Yes, I find it fairly easy to remember people’s names. For example, when I started primary school I quickly learned the names of my whole class because we sat together every day.

提案: Organize your answer: give a clear topic sentence followed by 1–2 specific techniques, using linking words for coherence. Avoid filler words (uh, um) and repetition. Provide a concrete example of an association to show clarity.

例: I usually remember names by linking them to a distinctive feature. For instance, I remember “Tom” as ‘Tom with glasses,’ and I also create mental images — like picturing Maria playing the piano — which helps me recall names quickly.

提案: Be concise and coherent: start with a direct statement of your feeling, then give one clear reason using linking words. Fix grammar (e.g. “someone's names” → “someone’s name”) and avoid confusing sentences. Provide a short example of a typical reaction if needed.

例: I don’t mind when people forget my name because I think it’s normal. If it happens, I usually reintroduce myself politely, which often helps them remember me later.

提案: Give a direct answer first, then clarify with a specific condition. Remove hesitations and repeated words, and correct grammar (e.g. “especially if they are people I see every day”). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and provide a concise example if relevant.

例: I don’t usually forget names; I remember people I see every day easily. However, I sometimes struggle with names of people I’ve only met once, such as someone I met briefly at a conference.

× Yes, it's very easy to me to remember people's name.

✓ Yes, it's very easy for me to remember people's names.

Use of preposition: the correct preposition with 'easy' expressing who finds something easy is 'for' not 'to'. Also 'people's name' should be plural 'people's names' because 'people' is plural and you refer generally to the names of many people. Suggestion: say 'easy for me' and use plural form for names.

× When I was at first grade, I was very good at memory, so I knew everyone's name and it was my one positive sides of my brain.

✓ When I was in the first grade, I had a very good memory, so I knew everyone's name, and it was one of the positive sides of my brain.

Multiple errors: use 'in the first grade' for school grade, not 'at'. 'Good at memory' is incorrect; use the noun 'memory' with adjective 'good' as 'had a very good memory'. 'Everyone's name' is singular but acceptable; keep it. 'My one positive sides' mixes singular and plural; use 'one of the positive sides' to indicate one item among several. Suggestion: restructure to 'When I was in the first grade, I had a very good memory, so I knew everyone's name, and it was one of the positive sides of my brain.'

× Well, remembering people's names is very, uh, hard.

✓ Well, remembering people's names is very hard.

Unnecessary filler 'uh' can be removed for grammatical correction. Sentence tense is present and correct; this suggestion removes filler to make sentence grammatically clean. Suggestion: keep present simple 'is' for a general truth.

× But uh, I usually remember them by their face and some associations, uh, like Tom with glasses.

✓ But I usually remember them by their faces and by associations, like Tom with glasses.

Use plural 'faces' to match 'them'. 'Remember by' can be followed by multiple methods; use 'by associations' or 'through associations' and include the preposition 'by' again to parallel structure. Suggestion: 'remember them by their faces and by associations'.

× And uh, when I hear a name Tom, I quickly remember his name.

✓ And when I hear the name Tom, I quickly remember him.

Pronoun use: 'a name Tom' is incorrect; use 'the name Tom'. Also 'remember his name' is redundant when you hear the name; better to say 'remember him' meaning recall the person. Suggestion: 'when I hear the name Tom, I quickly remember him.'

× Actually I don't care because it's normal to forget someone's names, but I cannot call them my name and they can know and save my name in their minds and it helps to remember my name very quickly.

✓ Actually I don't mind because it's normal to forget someone's name, but I cannot call them by my name; they can learn and save my name in their minds, and that helps them remember it quickly.

Multiple pronoun and phrase errors: 'don't care' can be 'don't mind'; 'someone's names' should be singular 'someone's name'. 'I cannot call them my name' is unclear; likely meant 'I cannot call them by my name' is wrong — intended 'I cannot call them by their name' or 'they cannot call me by my name'. I corrected to express: they can learn my name. Also 'it helps to remember my name' should be 'that helps them remember it quickly'. Suggestion: clarify who is remembering whose name and use consistent pronouns.

× I can say I'm good at remembering names, especially it's if it's it's people who I see every day and I don't know what to how to answer it.

✓ I would say I'm good at remembering names, especially for people whom I see every day, and I don't know how to answer that.

Tense and structure: 'I can say' is better as 'I would say' for this opinion. Remove repeated 'it's if it's it's'. Use 'for people whom I see every day' (or 'people I see every day') and 'I don't know how to answer that' to correct word order and remove extra words. Suggestion: simplify to 'I would say I'm good at remembering names, especially for people I see every day, and I don't know how to answer that.'
